that's okay >*&anyways . . . i am doing this today because i have a football game tomorrow and won't be home 'till late :hapy:so I will be walking you through the rules of SURVIVOR 11!!!

1. Don't worry, everyone will get a name, but they will be randomly selected and they won't be chosen until after the first episode (it's because of something they've said on tv w/ the two people). In challenges, please put your SURVIVOR name at the bottom of your challenge - that is how we will refer to peeps :t-up:

2. You will have a week to send in your challenge. I will give the challenge on a sunday and you will have until sat. night to get those in. just like the show, there will be reward and immunity challenges. (there will also be tribal councils!)

3. There is an extra way to earn points - by guessing what will happen on the show. we will not do this the first time (because we won't know the tribes yet) but every time after that, you can win an extra 50 points (per correct answer) by guessing the following:which tribe will win reward?which tribe will win immunity?who will go home?I will check the answers on Wed. night, so no cheating! *8

4. Trbal councils will be held, with a majority vote deciding who leaves. When someone is voted out, they give all their points to someone. BUT, if they still want to participate in challenges, they can! And if they win, they will stop others from getting points (or they can give the points to someone else!) you can make alliances by sending pms, tho i will not be playing because I want the decisions on challenges to be fair.

5. If you miss a challenge, you just miss out on the points

6. If you don't want to or can't play anymore, please notify me before you disappear ]**] and i'll get all the info about your points and stuff. I tried to make it easy for people with busy schedules to play, but pleez let me know if you can't

7.for tribal councils, you can either vote through sending me a pm or you can post it in the open.

so there are your names. don't worry - if your person is voted off, you're still in the game. :t-up:

Now, for the very first survivor:Guatemala reward challenge, you will need to be both creative AND persuasive >*& This doesn't need to take long for u guys with busy schedules, and it isn't "due" until next sunday. however, you can make predictions on these 3 things for up to 150 points:which tribe will win immunity?which tribe will win reward?who will go home?

i need these answers by wednesday, and will not accept any after that, cuz the show is on thurs. ]**]

so, back to the challenge:

you must write 4-5 sentences on what each of the tribe names (nakum and yaxha) mean, and why they mean that. i'm looking for creativity, and i want you to convince me of this. your definitions don't have to be real, in fact they should really be made up, so have fun with this challenge!!! :hapy: >*& (|

pleez post your predictions and challenge responses on the board. don't worry - i'll tell u if u need to pm anything to me. :':') that stinks about fatcat. so you can NOT vote for Morgan, but at the next tribal, everybody else is fair game (|socks

Nakum is a tribal name that originated over 500 years ago. It represents the sorrow that these people have always dealt with in their daily lives of having to live in the jungle. Every time it would rain the Nakum tribe would bow down on knee and weep over their sorrow for their lose of their loved ones. Still to this day they weep. Therefore, Nakum means sorrow.

Yaxha is a tribal name that originated over 450 years ago. It represents the restoration of the people and how they have always overcome death and destruction. They refused to weep over their lost loves ones, but to restore their land and to honor them in this major glory. Still to this day their land is being restored. Therefore, Yaxha means restoration.

Nakum was the high priestest who reigned over the mayans in 2005 BC. She was the first in power of this beautiful land that is rich in spirituality. She ruled for 46 yrs and was loved by all her people. Her great spirit and fairness made her stand out amongst all people before and after her reign which ended with her death in 1959 BC.

Yaxha was the name of Nakum's first born son, who took over the ruling of the mayans upon the death of his mother. Yaxha had none of his mother's good gentle ways. Yaxha was known for his evil hatred of those not like him. Sacrifices began in the reign of Yaxha. Fear ran rampant in the day of Yaxha.
